Membership Rates
The most effective way for you to help protect the countryside is to become a member of CPRE Bedfordshire.
We’re delighted that you want to join us. We all need the countryside – whether it’s for fresh air, delicious local produce, beautiful landscapes, or vibrant towns and villages – the countryside is invaluable. By joining CPRE, you are helping to ensure that a beautiful living countryside thrives for generations to come.
CPRE membership is from £3 per month, but giving at a higher level will help us do more to protect the countryside. CPRE members may add their partner and other family members to their membership - those who do tend to give from £5 per month.
For all memberships, we encourage you to pay by monthly, quarterly or annual Direct Debit.
Suggested membership rates:
| £36 per year | (equivalent to £3 per month)* |

* Recommended minimum. If you would like to give further support to our work by paying a higher subscription, we would be very grateful. The more you give, the more we can do.
Please also note that we are unable to send our magazine, Countryside Voice, to members who pay less than £3 per month. We understand that each person’s circumstances are different, and we very much welcome you joining us at whatever level you can afford. However we hope you understand that we won’t be able to provide our magazine.
